Pokemon-go – Are all 151 pokémon catchable on the same account

pokemon-go

In the classic Pokémon RBY, in order to "catch them all", you had to trade between games because there were some exclusive pokémon you could only get through trading with the other version.

I am wondering whether Niantic did something similar with Pokémon Go, where depending on some hidden value in your account, you can only catch certain pokémon and you will have to catch them all by trading them with other players in a later update.

As it appears right now it is possible to get 146, all of which you can catch or evolve up. The 5 legendary (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mew, Mewtwo) are uncatchable at least at this time. Whether they are added later or will be rewards for something special is unknown.
